Today would have been Clark Douglas Burris's birthday. He was my high school music teacher and he changed my life forever. In the comments I will post a news story on him that will blow your mind.. He taught a full day of High School every day plus after school Rock Ensemble confined to a wheelchair Quadraplegic from Multiple Sclerosis.
30 years ago in 1996.. He taught the Miami Beach High Rock Ensemble how to play The Beatles Sgt Peppers Lonely Heart's Club Band and we staged it as a live performance. Here it is in all it's imperfect glory..
Yep.. thats me on lead guitar, Banjo-sitar, and sound effects.. even a co lead vocal on A Day In The Life
